2. Tundra tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tundra_tire

   The tundra-style tire has been independently invented at different times and places. In North America its post-World War II invention is credited to Canadian Welland Phipps, [1] potentially inspired by the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company's pre-World War II development of their own, similar low-pressure "airwheel" as a complete wheel-rim and tire set — said to be of the "Musselman" type from U ...

3. Rolligon - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolligon

   Tires inflated to 7 psi (48 kPa) Rolligon is a trademark name for large, low-pressure tires, designed to traverse the soft ground surfaces of the tundra.The product was invented by William Albee in 1951 after he had seen Inuit using inflated seal hides to drag a heavy boat on shore.

4. Plus sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_sizing

   Plus sizing is the practice of replacing an automotive wheel with one of a larger diameter fitted with a new tire of lower aspect ratio so that the new tire has close to the same diameter and circumference as the original tire to minimize any changes in speedometer accuracy, torque and traction control, while reducing sidewall flex and (generally) increasing cornering ability.

5. Low rolling resistance tire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_rolling_resistance_tire

   Low rolling resistance tires are designed to reduce the energy loss as a tire rolls, decreasing the required rolling effort — and in the case of automotive applications, improving vehicle fuel efficiency as approximately 5–15% of the fuel consumed by a typical gas car may be used to overcome rolling resistance.

6. Tire load sensitivity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_load_sensitivity

   Tire load sensitivity. Tire load sensitivity describes the behaviour of tires under load. Conventional pneumatic tires do not behave as classical friction theory would suggest. . The load sensitivity of most real tires in their typical operating range is such that the coefficient of friction decreases as the vertical load, Fz, increas

7. Tire Science and Technology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_Science_and_Technology

   Tire Science and Technology is a quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original research and reviews on experimental, analytical, and computational aspects of tires. Since 1978, the Tire Society has published the journal. The current editor-in-chief is Michael Kaliske (Dresden University of Technology).
